Today there are about 600 million passenger cars in the world. Can you imagine that 125 years ago there was only one motor vehicle, and between 1888 and 1893 there were only 25 lucky men in the world, who purchased the first cars, produced by Karl Benz? It goes without saying that modern cars differ greatly from those, produced at the dawn of automobile era. It took years to invent rubber tires, windshields, car stereo, ABS, turbo compressors, and many other common features of typical modern cars.

However, it is necessary to say that there have always been particular car models, which set the direction for the future car design and further development of automobile industry. They are called concept cars or prototypes. These cars have a very important and specific role – today they show us how cars will look tomorrow. Concept cars are always unique – not only because they are usually produced in one exemplar only, but also because such vehicles of tomorrow represent the most cutting edge and experimental concepts, technologies, and innovations, known to car makers at the given period of time. Concept cars reflect the state of the art in both functionality and design. Not only new engines and transmissions are first introduced at concept cars, but also novelties of the exterior and interior design. Have a look at the pictures below, and you’ll be able to feel the scent of the future. Cars, shown in this gallery, fascinate and attract with the ultimate style and unusual appearance. Concept cars truly can show the fusion of revolutionary technical innovations and the most progressive art trends.
